2tongues Theres not a big margin in alarms so not a lot to give away - but the install has to be right so recommendation is better than any old fitter from the yellow pages:thumbup:
Ed @ sextons Southampton is a legend. I wouldn't go to anyone else now i have seen his work. :thumbup1:

Today i went up to TGT to measure up for the gear cables. I have found a company that make made to measure gear cables that are mega flexible (they claim you can tie them in a knot and they will still work fine) and they are reasonably priced, about £65 for a 2 metre cable. Got all this done and they will be getting ordered up in the next few weeks or so.
Also while i was there i put James to work on the exhaust system, he is a legend. Couple of hours later and it was done! Its a work of art and is so strong! I nedd to make a new bracket for it as the one i made up before was slightly off but everytime he does some more work on the buggy im always amazed at what he does.
Here's the outcome......

Just misses intercooler pipework..........

I love it, its got to be one of the shortest systems i have seen.
Next job on the list is the fuel system, i have given James the go ahead to order the braided fuel line and -6 fittings and get it all plumbed up and the fuel lab FPR mounted and plumbed also.
Its slowly all getting connected up now. Work will be slower over the next few months as i have so much on and money is pretty tight, but don't worry i haven't forgotten about this

Just got back from JAE a few hours ago and although im completely shattered i have already started sorting out parts for the buggy. Im going to try and do more to this each week now as i need this done so bad. JAE just made me realise how insane this is going to be and how close its starting to get now. Everyone talking about it made me realise how bad i want this done, even Sarah wants it done, might be something to do with her pretty much having the lexus all to herself then :Fish:
Had a talk with a rep from Hel (company that make custom brake/clutch lines) and im going to get them to make up all the lines for the buggy as his prices didn't seem too bad and they seemed a better choice than the copper lines as they can easily get damaged/crimped and the stainless braided ones should be easier to run and mantain.
While i was there i had a little look around the trade stands and i must say they where pretty rubbish, even though i still managed to get some green bits :lol:
Picked up a tow eye for the back and some stainless/green anodised washers. Look awsome and should really help with the green/black theme, a few of you have already seen them but for those that haven't......
